These married people have turned my wife and I into professional motivational speakers.
We all know the pressure that comes with maintaining a home in this present day Nigeria can be overwhelming, but why can't two grown adults put aside their pride and ego, join heads together and plan a headway for their family in this trying times.
Am no expert in this marriage thing, but I know for fact the three obstacles hindering progress in marriages are

1.PRIDE
When you get married, that is the day you sign yourself into stewardship, to serve your spouse and children with humility and respect, if you cant bring yourself down for anybody, pls don't get married, you will save yourself a lifetime of misery staying single.

2. INTOLERANCE
A man or woman that have sworn to never take any rubbish from anybody has no business getting married, cos the day you ask that beautiful girl to marry you or the day you finally decide to say yes to that handsome young or old man, that's the day you receive your appointment letter from the waste management company.
Your job prescription in not only to collect the rubbish o, you will both collect and dispose the rubbish in the most appropriate manner, so not to inconvenience your neighbors with the smell, so get ready.

3. OVER RIGIDITY
It is a good thing to have standards and personal values so people can relate with you based on the principles you have set for yourself, very good, but you must understand that when you get married, as a woman, you are expected to drop 70% of those your personal standards and replace them with that of the man you intend to do forever with, and as a man you must create space for the remaining 30% of your partner, if not no home can accommodate 200%. So for peace to reign, you must understand the formula and be flexible with your partnership so both of you can be 100%.

Those are the most important ones I can point out, you can add yours in the comments.

Intolerance is the major problem

Intolerance is just one of the major issues, people also get married for selfish reasons, always ready to take but unwilling to give
